? GYPSY SMITH PREACHES f AT STATE UNTVERSITY The University Y. M. C. A. held a series of religious meetings last week conducted by the Rev. Gypsy Smith, Jr., the noted evangelist. The meet* 1 ur?j?A.^<,v on/-? r>/"wr>tinnf>d flllgS uegiin ?? CUiJCi?ua.j Wtu through Sunday. Mr. Smith's dignified manner of delivering a sincere message made a profound impression on the students who heard Irm. Among the evils which he especially scored were nominal Christianity and college skepticism. The effectiveness of his lectures was shown in the flattering si2.e of his audience each nigf t. Not only most of the student, body but also many visitos from the city helped fill the auditorium at each lecture. A plan providing that all athletic matters shall be in the hands o'f an athletic board composed of two faculty * members, two members from the student body, and two members from the alumni association. The new body will differ materially from the pres ent advisory board in that its person nel will be made up of especially elected representatives instead of ex officio members. The plan ^Jso included the establishme'nt of a faculty manager of athletics to be a regular member of the university faculty and the permanent head of the athletic dejartment of the college. The faculty at its meeting Wednes- I day afternoon granted the petition of ! the senior class that a senior honor club be established at the university. CLERK'S SAJJbh \ Btate cf South Carolina.

The prime purpose of the club is to emphasize scholarship in the thoughts of the students. It is believed that the prize of membership will stimulate mental achievement, thereby raising ! the standard of scholarship at the university. All the students?the freshmen in particular?are looking forward with great pleasure to the Christmas holidays which begin today. The professors are having considerable difficulty in holding the mjnds of the students to their studies and are resorting i io various expedients sucn as tests and quizes to keep the boys from daydreaming".

C.j investigators have confirmed the bluegrass-pasture experiments, in which it was shown that heavy pasturing was much the best method both agronomically and economically. Unfortunately, say the specialists, facilities for experiments and demonstrations are wholly inadequate in ati tempting to work out a svstem of betjter handling of northern pastures. On jthe coastal plains of the South, unless the soils are much affected by fought, continue the experts, carpet grass supplemented with iespedeza makes excellent pasture. Golden crown grass is also excellent. Efforts are being made, with the aid of a new stripping machine, to place carpet grass seed on the market in adequate quantity. Several newly introduced grasses are promising as pasture possibilities. Tin: SHUT) SITUATION I Clemson College, December 22.?
